Comments (3)I suspect they might do better for you than they did here. We had Florence Delattre for about 4 years, and she produced one bloom. The bloom was breathtaking -- but, REALLY. One bloom in 4 years does not cut it. We grew Claudia Cardinale, who bloomed a LITTLE more, but the constant rust on the foliage was brighter than the coppery-yellow blooms. Sonia Rykiel flopped along the ground and produced more prickles than blooms. The blooms, again, were to die for, but unless staked up, they lay on the ground. Paul Bocuse, by contrast, is a vigorous grower and a generous bloomer, with excellent resistance to mildew and rust. He's not my favorite color, to be honest, but he's so good in every way, I have not the heart to remove him. Jeri...See MoreGuillot Generosa Roses
Comments (25)I have Florence de Lattre, still. I thought it was dead, but it sent up one shoot last fall. Mine has bloomed quite profusely at times, but the color is lavender only in cool weather. In the heat it takes on more of a tan color that to me does not look good at all. It looks like something is wrong with it. The plant is a blackspot magnet and won't keep leaves. It throws long canes and wants to be an octopus. There are other lavender roses that are better than this one. I plan to get rid of it....See MoreTell me about Generosa and Renaissance roses
Comments (3)I don't know that there is much accomplished by comparing different "brands" of roses. Each category will have beautiful roses that BS like crazy, others that suffer more limited amounts of BS, and a handful that truly are disease-resistant, or nearly so. The one exception I can think of is the more recent Kordes roses--which are being bred with disease-resistance as one of their prime characteristics--but there are other Kordes roses that are not. Even David Austin is paying more attention to disease-resistance in some of his more recent offerings. Most of his earlier ones are quite BS prone. But that is probably true, as a very broad generalization, about most roses out there on the market. Only recently has disease-resistance become important to the buyer--so many nurseries are now breeding for disease-resistance. With earlier roses (in general), that was not important to the buyer, so nurseries didn't worry much about it one way or another. Kate...See More- 20 years ago
